How big is the spacer? I asked BC and they said its about a 2 inch spacer. The spring would only help out with 3/4 of a inch? If anything you would need both to have the ability to change it from stock height and lower it to where you want it?

That is with the 210mm and no spacer. Someone is doing something wrong on your install. If i did a 3/4" longer spring or a spacer it would be higher than stock...
Do you have the X model?

Right now with just the spacer, I have about 1 1/2 finger gap...

Is that on your new wheels or stock wheels?

Would you be able to lower it without any issues? I'm trying to figure out if I should order the spacer, spring or both.

Currently I'm fine but my rears are both maxed out too. I wanted the ability to raise it higher for winter driving though. BC says if I got both and tired to lower it, I'd have to remove the spacer. I think the spacer is the soultion since it will offer the height I wanted but retain the ability to lower the car to where I want it. Adding the spring maybe overkill.

Running new wheels right now. And as for lowering in the rear, there is plenty of adjustment to go more low, and I mean plenty.

So I'll probably just need the spacer and not the spring?

If you already have the coilovers than spacers, but if you're looking into buying a set get the 230 springs at no extra charge I believe, someone correct me if I'm wrong. I had to purchase the spacer for 30$, which the normally go for 60$ but BC gave me a discount due to my problem.

Yeah I already have them. Wow that's pretty awesome. They said they could do 60 shipped for the spacers.

Yeah I think the spacer is will better than the spring and its cheaper too.
